Hi, im new here too!

Thats great you found a project you love! I am sure that you will get something that you really enjoy considering you have so much experience!

I was applying recently and came across two projects that i loved, one was a funded by a BHF scholarship, the other didnt have funding yet. I also applied to one of those 4 year studentships with the BHF- had an interview and when i found out i didnt get it i was into panic mode applying for everything that interested me! I agree, it is daunting.

Luckily i got offered the the bhf project that i love and I accepted it yesterday.

Your CV would make mine look empty (still an undergraduate) so I am sure that you will get something that you will love.(up)

Thats great- I finished it today to hopefully I'll hear something back from them soon!

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am in my last year of my undergraduate degree and I am currently applying for PhD's. I have been using this website for a while now and there has been some great advice so I was hoping for some help!

I am applying for a PhD at Edinburgh and they are asking for me to send a covering letter, a personal statement (outlining my reasons for applying, suitability, experience, motivation to do a phd and career aspirations), a cv and references. I really need some help with the cover letter.

I am not sure what to write on it as I have covered most of what I would normally write in a cover letter in the personal statement. I dont want to seem to be repeating myself. Any advice on what I should include in this letter?

Thanks!
